Byline: A small shipyard specialising in repairs is the surprise choice of bankruptcy trustees, writes Leo Ryan in Montreal

Bankruptcy trustees have chosen a small shipyard specialising in repairs to purchase Davie Industries, once eastern Canada's largest shipyard.

In a surprise development, Groupe Navamar, situated on the west end of the Port of Montreal, was last Friday given the go-ahead to conduct due diligence on Davie, with a March 31 deadline for completion.

Navamar, a relative newcomer shipyard, was selected as the best of five bidders for Davie located near Quebec City on the St Lawrence River which went bankrupt in 2001.

Davie, with a workforce of up to 3,000, built throughout its 175-year history a wide variety of vessels, from bulk carriers and warships to ice-breakers, in addition to offshore platforms.

Among the creditors, Samir Financial of Chicago is owed US$3m while a Quebec government financial institution has subsidised Davie to the tune of about C$16m (US$14m) in recent years.
